[quote=ACU Frank;719828]Years ago (early-to-mid '80s, I guess) there was a car dealership in Kansas City that actually ran late-night TV commericals touting their ability to finance a car for anyone, regardless of credit. They had a guy who galloped…

Next thing you know Jim-Bob requests military leave so he can be a soldier on World of Warcraft online? Interesting.

Nae, Thank you for the laugh! I'm pretty sure, though, that my father is the parent that taught me a bunch of those things. Sharon =D>

Even though the autistic/alzheimer's scenarios revolve around an employee's responsibility for a family member who is incapable of controlling their own behavior and is at substantial risk of harm, I do see your point David S. Somehow, though, I …

Julie raises a very valid point. What if, in the spirit of generosity, we designate looking for the child as FMLA leave and then a month later the employee runs out of FMLA and any other leave time, runs afoul of our attendance policy, and, as a …

Let' me put on my devil's advocate hat for a minute and look at a similar situation. Suppose I have an aging parent with Alzheimer's and have been approved for FMLA on an intermittent basis to care for my Mom. My four sisters and I share the respon…

Carolil, We don't have a policy available at this time but this topic has come up before on the forum and some of the previous posts may be helpful to you. To find them, click on "forum search" and enter vacation donations or donating time to oth…

[quote=halll;719723]I vote for the "easy and humane" way on this one. What a tracking nightmare to say...okay, it took 2-1/2 hours to find the child, so we won't count that as FMLA/OFLA. But employee then spent 3 hours comforting the child, so that…

Nae, I think your event was a great idea. Do you have a formal recognition and/or appreciation program or is it more of an ad hock situation? Sharon

I'm curious. What is the guideline for most employers regarding who can be considered a "dependent"? Is it the same as the IRS definition of dependent? Sharon

You'd think it would be less expensive for them to just adhere to the law than to pay all the extra legal fees, not to mention the fines and back pay.

Can't help but wonder if, at some point, we'll see TV commercials for other retailers that go something like ... We could offer our merchandise at lower prices but we choose to obey the law and pay our employees appropriately, etc. Sharon

Hunting Dog, On the HRHero home page, on the left side, look for Audio Conferences & Webinars. Click on Upcoming Conferences. Scroll down the page to Audio Conferences on CD. Under the topics list click on Social Networking. Several are liste…

You might consider allowing them a choice between using an unpaid leave to cover the extra days rather than using up vacation time, etc. I think that would send message to all employees that the company can be flexible when situations are truly be…

Perhaps your customer could meet with Wal-mart to explain their concerns and reach a compromise. For example, copies of the I-9s with private information redacted or no copies and, instead, a release of liability agreement. Has your customer contac…

[quote=sstogner;719598]Hey Folks, FMLA won't apply even at the time of birth, that's how new, but it came to light last week that both employees had high-risk pregnancies, so we sent them to their physician to ensure they weren't being placed on r…

As Julie mentioned, we've corrected the topic page on HRLaws where we found the text but would like to make sure there's not another area with misinformation. kcederberg, could you let me know where on the website you found the text if it wasn't…

[quote=Paul in Cannon Beach;719588]What's worse? That the information is accurate or inaccurate? Let's go look up our MLS moderators...[/quote] I'd say it's six of one and a half dozen of the other. Seeing my own profile on that site does, howe…

Frank, Below is an excerpt from the HR Guide to Employment Law: [I]"If your organization has 20 or more employees, an employee who is leaving your company or whose hours are reduced generally can stay on your health plan under COBRA for up to 18 …

Paul, Log onto HRHero and under HRTools you should find a substantial number of HR Policy templates you can adapt for your organization's use. Please let me know if you have difficulty finding them or don't see everything you need. Sharon

Nae, I haven't seen those. Who is the sponsor? Sharon

Years ago, as a supervisor, I had a similar issue. The ee was arrested for DUI, etc. Because our policy permitted it, he was allowed a 30 day unpaid leave to deal with being in jail, but his attendance policy violations eventually resulted terminati…

I was at the doctor, an excellent physician who has been my family doctor for twenty years, just yesterday and discussing this very issue. He has 5 employees and can no longer afford to provide them with health insurance. His liability insurance is …

One of my all time favorites is: "What we have here is a failure to communicate." It's from Cool Hand Luke. I think I used that a few too many times when my daughter was a teenager. I finally sat her down with the video and, well, she stole my line.…
